Cirtek forges alliance with Light Engines

US-BASED optoelectronic company Light Engines plans to start mass production of its LED products in the Philippines through local electronics manufacturer Cirtek Holdings Philippines Inc.

Cirtek announced the business partnership with Light Engines, an original device manufacturer specializing in LED design, in a statement on Wednesday.

LED or light-emitting diode is an electronic light source, which is both powerful and energy efficient.

Light Engines is the LED industry’s leader in the design of application specific primary optics. Its corporate office is based in the United States while its research and development as well as design center is based in Russia.

LED can be used in a wide variety of lighting applications such as street lights, stoplights, decorative lights, medical and plant growth acceleration back lighting, consumer electronics displays, advertising billboards as well as highend automobile lighting.

Cirtek, meanwhile, is looking at more business opportunities with one of its long-term partners, Camsemi, a fables semiconductor company that designs, develops and supplies energy efficient power management for electronics brand and cellphone charges.

Last July 6, Camsemi awarded Cirtek a plaque of appreciation for helping Camsemi introduce its new products this year.

Cirtek started business with Camsemi in 2008, producing products intended for the smart phone applications such as battery charges.

Cirtek provides turnkey solutions that include package design and development, wafer probing, assembly and packaging, final testing of semiconductor devices, and shipment to customers.
